Track Name: Christmas Time (Safe and Sound)
I guess, if just for now,
I'm safe and sound, 'cause
(Everybody knows it's Christmas time)

I rhyme; wanna be told I'm beautiful,
I wanna be told I'm suitable
Been a rough year,
New band, new plans, left that, wanna rap
Contract not suitable
Maybe I'm just not usual
It mean more to me to stay lyrical
My voice and it's words to stay pivotal
I know now that I gotta stay spiritual

On top of the world end of 2010
But how did my world then end?
Maybe it's me, I'm just not stable
Pain killers don't cure, they just enable
Up, down, up, down again
Promises empty, band mate friends
Why couldn't I see, C-A-P-E
Is all I ever needed to be

But living with the person you really are
Is hard face when lights come on
Can I really rap, I can spit bars
Can I write melody, like Superstars
Again, am I too ambitious
Reality is viscous, and know you that I miss you friends, Mrs.
Cape, I love you mom
I know that you'll hear me in this song,

(Everybody knows it's Christmas time)
I was at the top 'till, I hit rock bottom but for now….
(Everybody knows it's Christmas time)
I was at the top 'till, I hit rock bottom but for now….
(Everybody knows it's Christmas time)
And I won't break down or drown,
If the clouds come back around
I guess, if just for now,
I'm safe and sound, 'cause
(Everybody knows it's Christmas time)

Maybe next Christmas I'll be signed
But either way 'til death do us rhyme
Creative to the core, beats and metaphors
Symphony call
Rough, rugged and raw
Jingle bells I want singles now
Writing day and night, that's why I'm single now
I've worked it out it's kinda simple how
If you just want pop, buy jingles now

I'm trying to adjust to a colder December
African-sky blue, hotter than ever
This time of year rock a kif pool party,
Lank wors and chips, Tom is wearing khaki
I see myself on a mission
Decision to finish in place
5 years, I'm still in the race
No plans of quitting, I'm living
No cash to buy gifts for giving,
I better get knitting

(Everybody knows it's Christmas time)
I was at the top 'till, I hit rock bottom but for now….
(Everybody knows it's Christmas time)
I was at the top 'till, I hit rock bottom but for now….
(Everybody knows it's Christmas time)
And I won't break down or drown,
If the clouds come back around
I guess, if just for now,
I'm safe and sound, 'cause
(Everybody knows it's Christmas time)
